Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 636 Something To Use Against

Tom froze for a moment. Then, with delight, he said, "That's wonderful news."

Kelly was pregnant with Jackson's child as well, but she was an ambitious woman and not to mention cruel. There was no way they could hope for her to help Jackson. Regardless, they still helped Kelly out because she was pregnant with Jackson's child. Now that Krystal was pregnant, too, that was good news. She was their real daughter-in-law, after all. If this were in the olden days, Krystal's child was the legitimate heir to the Whittles' wealth. However, all they had now were debts, so nothing mattered.

"I know it's wonderful news, but we must keep it a secret from Kelly. Who knows what she'll do if she finds out about this? Sure, they had a bad breakup, but their relationship did go on for years. Plus, Jackson's her first love, and people say that it's hard for one to forget about their first love. The same goes for Kelly as well. She's going to get jealous of Krystal once she finds out." Rosemi reminded her husband, "After she's bailed out, tell the Caddels to keep it on the hush."

The Caddels were also in dire straits, though they were a bit better than the Whittles since they had the Zorns helping them out. The business was rough for them, but at least they were not in debt.

"I know. I'll keep it a secret. We'll talk after the baby's born. Kelly's getting more underhanded these days. She even ruined Brian and Dulcie's relationship. The Sullivans and Zorns are probably going to fight over this."

Even though the Whittles were no longer in the high society circle, they could still get some news. They knew Brian and Kelly were messing around, and the latter even recorded the session. She then sent that recording to the Sullivan siblings. Dulcie was already jealous of Kelly, to begin with, and she finally snapped when she received the recording, leading to a big fight breaking out between her and Brian. However, Brian didn't even try to calm her down, and their marriage was over before it even began. Their families would never accept this unless Dulcie could accept Brian cheating with Kelly.

Jacqueline hated Kelly's guts and told everyone about how evil she was. Eventually, the news made it to the Whittle couple. Rosemi was infuriated when she heard the news as well. She couldn't believe she didn't see how whorish Kelly was. She's pregnant, and yet she hooked up with Brian. And Brian certainly has a loose screw. He could've gone for any other woman, yet he went for my son's ex. A pregnant ex, no less! "I need to tell you something, Tom."

"Sure. Talk away. No secrets between us." Back when the Whittles were still rich, Tom was a bit tired of his wife. However, now that the family had declined, Rosemi was the only one who stayed around. Without their riches and status, the couple's relationship got a lot better.

Rosemi opened the door and looked around. Alright, the coast is clear. After making sure no one would pass by and eavesdrop on them by accident, she closed the door and went back to her husband. "Kelly called me."

"What is it this time?"

A moment of silence later, Rosemi said, "It's about her parents. She complained about how unfair they were to her and that they only cared for Kendall. Putting our grudge aside, I can understand why, though. Kendall is their real daughter, after all. And now that she's working hard to build a career, I can see why they don't want to hand their wealth to their adopted daughter. But then, Kendall's the reason our family is ruined. I hate her, so much so that I want her dead!"

Rosemi then hissed, "Even without Kelly's provocation, I would've tried to kill Kendall. No, no. Death is too merciful. I will torment her."

"What are you up to this time? No, wait. Are you telling me you're going to help Kelly? Are you stupid? She's just using you. We can't win this battle. We couldn't win when we were rich, and there's no way we can win now."

"Kelly said she'd call me when the Parkers are out vacationing in the same car. Then, I would have to create a car crash to kill the Parkers. They'll go on a road trip tomorrow. Tom, I hate Kendall, so I don't mind helping Kelly take over the family. She's carrying Jackson's child. We can never rebuild our family unless the Colemans and Mendelsons fall, but the child stands a chance. He might not take after our last name, but he's still a part of the Whittles. Kelly will leave everything she has to her child one day. We're helping our grandchild here."

Tom looked at his wife in shock. Then, he, too, steeled his mind. "Let me do it, honey." No matter the outcome, there's no good ending for us. So what if the Parkers die? Dylan will eventually trace it back to us.
